Source code is everything!

Linda Lamone really shows her ignorance about how computers work starting at about 3:20 into the video. "We . . . see the executable code." Nobody looks at executable code. For all anyone knows, the executable code might have been created from entirely different source code than the source code that was provided to the state. The only way to verify is by compiling and linking the source code yourself.

Dear Mrs Lamone, please! You really look like the perfect Rovian speak want to be in this video. Is it that you just thought that acting like you know how things work means you actually convince anyone. Diebold makes ATM machines, they can make a machine that can not be hacked and they can have a double paper trail so that all votes can be rechecked.

Linda Lamone is a real C.

You can tell she is not comfortable trying to answer those questions. I would investigate her and see how much money and freebies she got from Die Bold

program functions can be programmed in, which could be executed thru keystrokes but would be completely unapparent or hidden from someone who did not know these functions existed. Only the programmer or someone viewing SOURCE code could see that. once its compiled into an .exe it can only be accessed if you know its there. normal testing of .exe within the parameters of the workings of the machine would not show this. as a 30 yr + programmer, i have created such code. Good Work VR!!!

I like computer voting, provided they're also paper verifiable. The computer based voting machine could be a huge win in terms of speedy counting - but this shouldn't require blind faith.

Clearly, we need to hold the voting machine companies accountable and pass laws requiring a means of auditing the machines.

If she had any clue about how computers work she wouldn't be a proponent of computer-based voting machines. End of story.

OK, I only took an introductory programming class in college (many years ago). But isn't it the "source code" that's understandable by people and the executable code that's only understandable by machines? So, if state officials or their contractors can't independently review the source code how can those state officials know what the programming is doing?

Lamone looks VERY uncomfortable about being asked ANYTHING that gets to the heart of the matter. Reminds me of a professor or an elected official who puts herself far above the pesky lowly "peons" who have the nerve to ask questions. She is either in bed with Diebold (Premier!) or just doesn't want to let the truth out, or just doesn't know. All scenarios are frightening. She claims great comfort with the scandal-wracked ITA system. I guess she thinks we're all morons drinking her Kool-Aid!

One can see Linda Lamone is angry even before the interview begins. Her breathing is heavy, she's angry being questioned. To hell with all this computer counting machinery and folderol. Other countries just count ballots. Why don't we?
